Chapter 156, Arriving Home

Zhuo looked around.

Surprisingly, my father was not there.

Zhuo's father, Utsunomiya Shuichi, works in the same company as his mother, Utsunomiya Sachiko. Since Sachiko came to pick him up today, his father Shuichi should have also taken a leave and come together.

"Where's my father?"

"I should be making lunch at home now~~"

"so."

That makes sense.

Zhuo's father, Xiuyi, has a similar personality to Zhuo. They are both men who don't like socializing, but they don't really hate someone. On the contrary, although they are cold in personality, they are still very active.

It was for this reason that he specially prepared a big meal at home and other preparations to entertain Zero.

"Great! It's Dad who's cooking."

Zhuo turned around and told Ling this, but he didn't say "Although I can't compare to you, I'm already a great chef compared to Sa Chiko."

Then, Sachiko pretended to be angry and said something like, "What do you mean by this? Do you have any problem with your mother's cooking? Really?"

Zero remained as calm as ever and nodded.

"I am looking forward."

"Hehe, please look forward to the taste of our home. I invited you last time but you refused to come." Sa Qianzi said with clasped hands.

"It's not mom who cooked it, so why can she be so confident...but dad's cooking skills are indeed better." Zhuo said.

"This sentence is so redundant! Zhuo! How can you talk to your mother like this!"

Sa Chiko pinched his face lightly in dissatisfaction.

However, what Zhuo said was true, his father's cooking skills were indeed better. Although he didn't cook often...

It’s not that Sachiko’s cooking is bad, as her mother usually prepares all the meals for her… maybe she’s just used to it or maybe Sachiko’s cooking skills haven’t improved, but I just don’t think it’s as delicious as her father’s.

Of course, Zhuo was thankful to both of them at the same time. Or rather, he was more thankful to his mother who insisted on cooking for him even though her cooking skills were not that good.

"Forget it, Zhuo has been dishonest for a long time, so let's go home first. You guys came at a really good time, so you can have lunch when you get home... You must have woken up very early."

Sa Qianzi said this to Zhuo with a wicked smile.

I have been at home for more than ten years. If the sun doesn’t shine on my butt every day, Zhuo will not get up no matter how much I call him.

As the mother who raised Zhuo, Sha Qianzi naturally knew all this.

So Zhuo didn't answer her, but turned to look at Ling.

"Then let's go."

"Ah."

Ling nodded slightly and followed Zhuo towards the station exit.

After driving for more than half an hour, the group finally arrived at the Utsunomiya family.

In Zhuo's opinion, nearly six hours had passed since morning.

in front of the house.

In front of Zhuo and the others was a large house with a yard and four floors. The first floor was the reception room and kitchen, the second and third floors were the rooms for his parents and Zhuo, and the fourth floor was the study, balcony and other empty rooms...

Zero didn't seem surprised at all because it wasn't the first time he saw it.

"Speaking of which, although the house is big, it seems that there are no empty rooms."

Zhuo said this as the three of them walked in the yard.

"Oh, thank you for reminding me. We have taken this into consideration, so we have already packed everything. Our house is quite big. We originally prepared this way in the hope of having a daughter, but things don't always go as planned... It's no problem for Ling-chan to come and live here for a long time~!"

Sa Chiko said with a smile.

"Mom, aren't you being too sensitive? Why did the topic turn to that direction?"

"Oh My God."

Sa Chiko's smile was bright, and not only did it not fade, but it became happier and happier... This was probably because she became even happier after seeing Zero's reaction.

Because after hearing those ambiguous words from Sachiko, Zero didn't react at all and looked calm.

If I don't deny it at this time, how can I not make Sa Chiko even more delusional?

Daughter-in-law or something.

"Okay, the weather is so hot, let's go in quickly." Zhuo urged.

"Okay, there's nothing we can do." Sai Chiko said.

"What can't I do..."

Facing Zhuo's glaring questioning, Sha Qianzi showed no sign of stopping her laughter, so Zhuo gave up and pushed Sha Qianzi's back.

Sa Chiko smiled happily and unlocked the door of the house.

There were footsteps inside the house, probably because Shuichi noticed that they were waiting for someone to come back.

"You are back."

When I walked in, as expected, Shuichi was waiting.

"Shuichi, I'm back, and I brought Rei-chan back with me~"

"Long time no see, Romanov."

"Long time no see, I hope you are doing well lately."

The greeting between Zero and Shuichi was very formatted, which was completely different from Sachiko.

Zhuo Xin thought that this might be because his father was not good at speaking and had a stern face. Of course, Ling himself was not the type who liked to talk.

Only someone like Sachinko, who is outgoing and has no sense of distance, can talk to Zero nicely.

Xiuyi also noticed Zhuo standing beside him and spoke in his usual manner.

"I haven't seen you for a while, Zhuo. It seems you've been doing well lately and you look much better."

"It's only been a year, what can change?"

"Well, I look like a man now."

"What kind of metaphor is this? What was I before?"

Such conversations between father and son were very common in daily life.

Although it would be strange for Neon, who is a very chauvinistic man, to speak to his father like this...but Zhuo's family is not one of them.

On the contrary, although Shuichi always looks stern, when there are disagreements at home, Sachinko usually makes the final decision.

Zhuo's father, Xiuyi, is the type with a good temper.

So after being criticized by Zhuo, Shuichi just closed his mouth and smiled a little.

"Then Sa Chiko, I'll leave the house in your care. I still have to prepare the reception."

"Okay, then come in. This place is simple, I hope you can live comfortably."

The couple said so.

"Sorry to bother you."

"…Then I'm sorry to bother you too." Zhuo replied.

This courtesy was naturally what Sa Chiko wanted to see, and it was a prank because she said "they".

He bowed his head politely and took off his shoes.

Zhuo also changed into slippers.

This is where Zhuo grew up, so naturally he doesn't need Sa Qianzi's guidance. So he plans to go to his room and open the luggage he brought with him.

But he paid a little attention to the direction in which Sa Chiko was leading, and revealed an indescribable expression.

In front of the stairs.

third floor.

After seeing Shuichi return to the restaurant, Sachiko had already led Zero upstairs, and then stood in front of the door of the room on the third floor, waving to the girl who was walking up the stairs behind her.

"This way~~"

"Do you want me to sleep in the parking shed?" Zhuo thought silently.
